TradeUp brokerage is throwing a party for new customers with a bunch of stackable bonuses, and it keeps getting better! If you're looking to move some investments around, listen up.
Here's the deal: If you transfer assets from another brokerage to TradeUp (using ACATS), you can snag a 2% cashback bonus (up to $1,000), plus an additional 1% match (also up to $1,000) if you keep those assets parked there for a year. And that's not all. Depending on how much you deposit, you'll also get free stocks – up to 5 shares for a $100,000 transfer. Keep an eye out for special affiliate links that might even throw in a share of NVDA (Nvidia stock)!
The free stock bonus has evolved too! Now called CRCL shares, the tiers have been sweetened with some high value levels. For example, transferring $50,000 gets you 10 shares and transferring $1 million will get you 100 shares. There's also an IRA version of the deal that gives you a few shares of SGOV on top, but be warned: there's a longer holding period for that bonus. Just remember there's a $50 fee if you decide to transfer out your entire account later, and these bonuses are for new customers only making their first ACAT transfer to TradeUp. But if you're planning a move anyway, this could be a seriously lucrative way to do it!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
